Horse training, riding lessons and more. I am all about lightness and communication in riding.

Babies are back out on pasture and joined the main herd ❤️ a lovely sight to see

Vasinium is also for sale. Beautiful little filly. She shows a lot of athleticism and is both easy going and accepting of new things as well as sassy when she isn't quite sure. Although I have not done any halter training she shows the most interest in participating in that kind of thing. She will be awesome for working equitation and you can often tell she comes from reining lines.

I don't think she will be as tall as her siblings, likely 16hh or under. She also comes with a lot of hair ;)

Her dam, Boo (Lucy Peekaboo) is an AQHA mare with Shining Spark on her papers. She has a handful of rides of her and has proven herself uncomplicated and likely to be amateur friendly. Not a lot fazes her. I expect she has thrown some of her demeanor to Vasinium.

Her sire is Xihao AR, 17.3hh lusitano stallion from the Alter Real stud in Portugal. He was trained to the highest level of dressage and qualified for the Olympics. Now with his owner he is a schoolmaster giving occasional lessons. He shows spectacular temperament and is easy to work with. He throws size and demeanor, as well as athleticism to his foals.

I expect Vasinium to be very amateur friendly but with potential to be competitive as well. She is well socialized, living in a herd with the other broodmares and foals, and will soon be out with a mixed herd. She is generally quite willing to explore new spaces.

As some may know Vervain is for sale. He is very brave, full of energy, and lovely to watch when he runs and plays. He should excel at working equitation, would be nice for dressage or shows aptitude for jumping as well.

He has been my most adventurous foal so far, wanting to leave the pen and explore earlier than the others. And does not hesitate when heading into new spaces. If he was a filly he wouldn't be leaving!

He should mature over 16-17hh.

His dam is Sequoia, a grade thoroughbred who has been my personal horse for a decade. She is athletic, extremely trainable and the try anything type of horse. She adds in a little bit of thoroughbred spice to her foals, but keeps them friendly and easy to work with. I am keeping back Vervain's full brother Ucalyptus for the temperament and size.

His sire is Xihoa AR, 17.3hh lusitano stallion from Alter Real stud in Portugal. He was trained to the highest levels of dressage, and qualified for the Olympics. He is now a schoolmaster with his owner and gives occasional lessons. He throws size and a spectacular temperament, he himself being incredibly easy to handle and friendly.

This cross should make an amazing life partner. Vervain is well socialized to horses and humans and has grown up living outdoors in a herd consisting of other broodmares and foals and will likely transition to a mixed herd soon.

Little Orchard Equine is looking for help picking square bales the morning of Saturday the 23rd. We need to get as much as possible as this deal only comes around once per year!

Willing to trade riding 🐎time and provide food for labor!

Help keep the herd fed, for without feed there is no lesson horses

Calli is slowly getting back in shape. Won't be long before she can go back into lessons!

Višnja is not interested in being halter trained but she enjoys carrying my stuff around.

Another parade in the books for the medieval riders of Little Orchard Equine

We took first place in our category and had a great parade! Thank you to everyone who came to ride, walk, drive and watch the parade!

And we of course love our excellent horses that go along with our fun ideas

First parade of the summer for us! We always love the Magrath Days parade!

Next up, Coaldale candy parade on August 9.

Back at it with Calligraphy! Needs some time to get back in balance, but is returning beautifully after her maternity leave.

Sometime in the fall she'll be back as a lesson horse as well (once Višnja is weaned).
